If there was ever an industry in need of automation, it would be the mortgage lending industry. This industry is plagued by time-consuming and error-prone, paper and labor-intensive processes, front-end systems that do not communicate efficiently with back-end systems, and third-parties that are often not integrated into the process electronically. These problems are exacerbated by the huge volume of loans that are generated each year (nearly 5 million new consumer mortgages alone). Content management is a key enabling technology in solving these problems.

Financial process automation also creates the foundation for sound analytics and business intelligence, a priority of great concern to the C-Suite, which will be the focus of the third post.

Accounting and Finance | Process Automation
This is the first of three posts reflecting thoughts on the role of Financial Process Automation in Digital Transformation. Yes, you read that right, and I realize it could be argued that this is one of the great oxymorons ever, combing "Financial Process Automation" and "Digital Transformation" in the same sentence. But stick with me. Every business operates on a pretty thin line between success and failure, and technology disruption is making this line sharper every day.

Accounting and Finance | Paperless Office
When I think about World Paper Free Day, I am reminded of when we renovated and reduced our office space a few years back. The end goal was a more open, collaborative environment while reducing costs. I spent a lot of time researching and planning for an open-space plan.
